This name originates from Australia. It is part of the Australian Antarctic Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
"Named after its distinctive shape, two points of an imaginary star with one point trending north north west and the other west. Visited by ANARE 1992-93 in a traverse from Mather Peninsula to Sapozhok Island and Cape Rybachiy. This promontory is important geologically as it preserves a shear zone that cuts the older gneisses."
